what do you mean?.
If you have a syphon system on your tank, you can just multiply the depths involved and divide by 231 (231 Inches per Gallon). For example.
A syphon tube reaches 3 inches into a tank that 38" wide and 20" deep.
Find the SqInches 38x20x3. 3040 total. Divide that by 231 to get the gallons. Its ~13.2 Gallons.
To get the flow rate just just pour 1 gallon of water through your syphon tube (outside where spills dont matter) and time it.
From there you can gauge how big a pump you need in your sump to prevent overflow (if you have an open sump). You can also get a few gadges cheap from Home Depot to prevent nasty, watery accidents.

you arent a math teacher by chance are you???
its simple.. just multiply the distance of the moon by the radius of the sun then add the gravitational pull, and consider the humidity! LMFAO just kidding fraggle lol

Man, you forgot the Mass dude.
You need to figure in the Mass of the moon, Oh, and also figure in any upcomming conjunctions.
Knowing the density of the water wouldnt help either. If your using RO it has a higher density than tap water...

(actualy i suck at math according to my high school tests.)
